I've always thought his Football Life TV special should be titled "Brady's Taint", with the following opening voice over: "Somewhere between the balls to cheat and just plain being an #######, lies Brady's taint."

Maybe he saw a young lady in a Catholic School Girl uniform and was simply inquiring how she got separated from the rest of the students. It could happen to anybody.

Flaming Broken Tables

Is this the one where Linda Hamilton is in the nursing home and the Terminator blends in because of all the knee replacements, pacemakers and titanium hips?

So Arya Stark, master faceless assassin just forgot about the guy that chopped her fathers head off? The guy who's name she repeated along with the others for years? That really is lazy. They could have tied up that loose end with a throw away line. Poderick was his relative. They should have just had someone inform Pod his great uncle or whatever, was dead, or sent to the Iron Bank on business or something. Or, if it was some sign of Arya being finally disgusted with all the bloodshed and she decided to let him live, they should have still addressed it.

Did I miss something or did Sir Ilyn Payne survive Arya's kill list? I don't remember them ever killing him off.

The league screwed up the catch rule a few years back so that nobody could define a catch and obvious catches were ruled incomplete. This rule will be the same. It will only make things worse as the calls are dragged out and reinforce the perception (which may be true) that the refs are deciding the outcome of the games and not the players.

I think you guys are overthinking this whole thing. We've watched this show for years and seen the world from King's Landing to Winterfell, from Dorne to North of the Wall and from the Vale to Lannisport and everything in between. Not once have you seen Midol or chocolate.

I don't know if I ever copied answers, but I gave away a ton. I pulled three people through an Economics quiz using hand signals once. I also remember sitting in a Chemistry test with a buddy of mine next to me. I'm finishing up my test and I see his paper is totally blank. He just looked shocked. I switched papers with him and filled out his test, changing enough stuff around to get him a 75% or so. I got caught giving away answers two tests in a row in a history class. No punishment, just got yelled at. You can't really blame me for the second one though. We had a fire drill during the test and friends were asking me stuff so I told them and the teacher overheard me. Always used mnemonic devices and sometimes wrote those down, up a sleeve, on a shoe, where ever. Like LEJPASR is the seven articles of the Constitution, Legislative, Executive, Judicial, etc. I knew a guy who kept a copy of a test he took early in the day and I sat down with a buddy to figure out all the answers at lunch, and that list of answers got passed around. That was all in the 80's. If you had given us smart phones we might have really cheated.

My biggest shock is that those are practiced moves. I always assumed they were spasms and full body dry heaves.

Aww, that sucks. Apparently when filming the Carol Burnett Show, they would get one take right as scripted and then sometimes the actors would ask to try something. Here's Tim trying something, The Tim Conway Elephant Story:

Those Clegane boys know how have a fight. I love that at that moment, the giant dragon raining hell down upon a city is just background.

Here's a link to his highlight reel. From his Junior year of High School. Why? The internet, that's why. https://247sports.com/Video/Moral-Stephens-JR-highlight-reel-2012-740871/

Good point on the scene with the prostitute. I had forgotten that.

When the series passed beyond the books, they dropped some threads that Martin was setting up, and I think the later seasons are weaker because of it. Whatever happened to the Horn of Winter or Dragonbinder? If they are going to have a moment where the cavalry arrives during the siege of Kings Landing, like with Stannis North of the Wall, the most likely candidate, imho, is Daario and the Second Sons. We'll get Clegane Bowl and Arya will use her faceless skills at least once more, killing Cersei using probably Qyburn's mug, but more fun would be Jamie's. Sure, his arc towards redemption is cool and all, but all Arya knows is he attacked Ned in the street and threw him into the dark cells. There's a part of me that wants Varys to suddenly start talking in a deep voice, explain he was never a eunuch and he has some secret identity and some claim to the throne. With Littlefinger dead, Varys is the main one moving in the shadows, and he keeps saying he is loyal to the Realm, which is to say he is loyal to no one in particular, maybe just himself.

Beane isn't just building the best 53 or even 90 man roster. He's got to have a list in his pocket of who to call if the injury bug hits. Maybe this is about the roster going into camp, and maybe it's about contingency planning. One thing is for certain, Beane isn't sitting with his feet on the desk, he's kicking over every rock.

*sigh* He's ripping the arms off the angels now. RIP big guy.

It's probably all stepped on and cut to hell with white fish.

If DK slides any further, they are going to have to announce his position as Luge.

When the agents figured out they were losing money because their clients were being called "tweeners". Well he's maybe a DE or an OLB if he drops a few pounds in the right scheme... No, wait! he's an Edge Rusher! That's the ticket! Well Bruce came into the league over 300 lbs. Then he started with the Jiffy Pop and wearing out Stair Master machines after his rookie year.

Beane letting the clock tick, listening to offers, letting the bidding get as high as possible?

You grab a ten year book end. It ain't sexy, but it's the right move. We signed a bunch of patches at Tackle, we need a fixture there.

Have we learned nothing from movies? Never trust the Pod People! Or, a "Social Media" professional found a way to get some name recognition so every time his name is googled, this comes up.

1) New Era Stadium plays the theme Song from the Golden Girls every time Shady or Gore score a touchdown. 2) Coach McD changes from clapping to jazz hands. It catches on and replaces the high five league wide. 3) Tom Brady is caught writing off visits to a male prostitute as a Nutritional Consultant. Video emerges of him eating ice cream off the body of the young man. Sports Illustrated notes the Tom simultaneously cheated on his wife, his taxes and his diet, then immediately declares Brady its Sportsperson of the Year. 4) The Buffalo Bills win the Super Bowl 45-16 over the LA Rams. Businesses, Schools and non essential Government offices are closed for three days. Supplies of beer and liquor are rerouted from Cleveland and Pittsburgh as local inventories are quickly depleted. The Parade makes St Patty's day look like an AA meeting. Two national reporters doing stand up shots along the planned route are never heard from again. Raucous fans cause the parade to reroute onto the 290/190 beltway and the parade itself circles the city for 36 hours. A February Toga party breaks out in the Chippewa district. A group calling itself The Sons of Labatt's issues a Declaration of Independence from New York State, The United States, The United Nations and The Planet Earth. It is not clear what area they are declaring as independent. In a follow up, they issue "The Bills of Rights". Items listed include alcohol will be available for sale before 8 AM on Sundays and Tom Brady cheats. As February gives way to March, both Governor Cuomo and President Trump refuse to send in The National Guard. Local Units of the Guard have taken up positions blocking the Thruway. When approached, the simply grab their crotches and shout, "We've got your #$@^@%%^ tolls right here!" and hurl empty beer cans at anyone within range. Boats carrying liquor and beer are seen frequently offloading at docks all along the lake front in what becomes known by the National Media as "the Buffalo Boat Lift". By April, internet connections with the Buffalo Area have been cut. The Federal Government reports that tax receipts from the area are down by 97% over the previous year, although they have received over 2,500 Josh Allen rookie cards. During the broadcast of the 2020 NFL draft, there are no Bills representatives seen until 8 seconds remaining on the clock to make the 32nd pick in the draft, Brandon Beane strides across the stage. He has a two month beard and one eyebrow shaved. He's wearing only a kilt and moon boots and drinking something obscured by a paper bag. He sets the bag down on the podium and gives a Roger Goodell a nuggie. He then approaches the microphone and says, "With the 32nd pick in the 2020 NFL draft, The WORLD CHAMPION BUFFALO BILLS SELECT JACK DANIELS, WHISKEY, TENNESSEE."

I need for them both to be on the field at the same time, one of them scores a touchdown and the Stadium Loudspeakers play the theme from the Golden Girls.
